puzzled about the best oil filter

[Ken2]

Champion Labs makes the Luberfiner filters for big engines, and these filters have a very good reputation.

David, here's B2 & B2 HPG info from Baldwin:
The B2 and B2-HPG will flow approximately 4 gpm at a pressure differential of 7.5 psi. These filters contain an 8 psi by-pass valve.

-B2 is 22 micron nominal ( Beta @ 2 = 2) and 45 absolute (Beta @ 45 = 75).
-B2-HPG is 8 micron nominal and 23 micron absolute. B2-HPG is limited to 150 psi.

Yep, I'm sure I posted the same #'s here back when. Travis provided the info when I was ordering HPG's. They're nice, and the bypass valve is serious. At this point all I have are visuals though. They look comparable to the other top-end filters. Now if someone were to donate two SDF-15's (one cutapart, one bench) I'd be happy to ruin them for a good cause...

i was watching "two guys garage" on speed channel and they said "only use a premium oil filter." the oil filter they were installing on the car was a wix.

I believe Wix is a show sponsor. They do make a good filter as does Champion, Baldwin, etc.

fleet guard filters

These are very good filters mostly all the commercial big rigs and a lot of the diesel guys use this brand ...

Fleetguard is owned by Cummins Engine, and well regarded.

Although I'm finding this topic interesting...

I'm feeling what it comes down to is just make sure you're doing the routing maintenance on your vehicle per the owner's manual, with products of generally known/established quality. With today's fluids and the manufacturer's build quality, you don't need more than that for the car to last longer on the inside than it does on the outside.
